The objective of this study was to evaluate the volume of paranasal sinuses (PNS) and turbinate in patients with unilateral choanal atresia (CA).
Computed tomography images of PNS in 11 individuals with unilateral CA were evaluated retrospectively. Mucosal thickness and volume of the maxillary, frontal and sphenoidal sinuses were determined, in addition to the volume of the middle and inferior turbinate. The unaffected nasal side of patients was used as a control group for the measurements. The results comprised the measurements of the atresic side compared to those of the healthy side.
There was no significant difference between the atresic and healthy side of the nose in patients with CA with respect to mucosal thickness and volume of the PNS (the maxillary, frontal and sphenoidal sinuses) and the middle and inferior turbinate (p > 0.050).
The complete absence of nasal unilateral airflow had no effect on the development of the PNS and the middle and inferior turbinate. Moreover, mucosal thickness in the sinuses was similar to that in the control group.
本研究的目的是评估单侧后鼻孔闭锁(CA)患者的鼻窦(PNS)和鼻甲体积。
回顾性评估11例单侧CA患者的PNS计算机断层扫描图像。除了中鼻甲和下鼻甲的体积外,还测定了上颌窦、额窦和蝶窦的黏膜厚度和体积。患者未受影响的鼻腔侧用作测量的对照组。结果包括闭锁侧与健康侧的测量值比较。
CA患者闭锁侧与健康侧在PNS(上颌窦、额窦和蝶窦)以及中鼻甲和下鼻甲的黏膜厚度和体积方面无显著差异(p>0.050)。
单侧鼻腔完全无气流对PNS以及中鼻甲和下鼻甲的发育没有影响。此外,鼻窦内的黏膜厚度与对照组相似。
